worn in recognition of the Close the Gap campaign,
Dennis focused his design around the concept of
breaking down the barriers between
Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians in
health, in particular the difference in life
expectancy. He says that the artwork also holds
significance to the Wests Tigers as it shows their
journey of integrating two teams, the Balmain
Tigers and the Western Suburbs Magpies, to be
represented as a bigger community.
Dennis’ original artwork for the jersey was
auctioned off by the Wests Tigers with all proceeds
going to Recognise. The Jersey is available to
purchase in both adults and youth sizes on the
Wests Tigers offical merchandise store: https://

The Jersey will be worn on Sunday, May 15th in
the Tigers round 10 clash against the
Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium.
During half-time there will be a presentation to
celebrate the success of the jersey and to
acknowledge everyone involved.
